About us
The Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) is a collaboration between UC San Francisco and the San Francisco Unified School District. Scientists and educators from both organizations work in partnership to support quality science education for K-12 students.
High School Intern Program
One of SEP’s longest-running programs is the High School Summer Intern Program in which high school students gain authentic research experience and sustained support with the college application process. While the application process for this program is rigorous, grades and test scores are not used as gatekeepers. Instead, primary importance is placed on whether this program will make a significant difference in the lives of the high school students. In order to participate, students must attend an SFUSD high school and have just completed their junior year.
The High School Intern Program is currently funded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, the Simons Foundation, and the Baskin Family Foundation.
